A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'Since' because 'Since' when used with a point in time ('a very long time') indicates the starting point of an action or state that continues to the present. 'For' is used with a duration (like 'for 10 years'), not a point. 'From' and 'Till' don't fit the context of showing how long something has been continuing up to now.
